Garden Party Painting

Plein aire painting is popular here is Colorado. That’s not exactly what I was doing at this garden party a couple of weeks ago, but I was painting outdoors. Check out the beautiful little spot! You can’t see it in the photo, but very near to where I stood was an overlook where we all later watched an incredible sunset over the Rocky Mountains.

About 40 women gathered for dinner, music, and friendship on a Saturday evening. I was invited to paint, which I considered a great privilege. A friend supplied some nice music, and a lyric from one of the songs became the title for the painting, “Call Him Good.” Another friend, Patty Caines, took some wonderful photos, including the ones you see here. Thanks to all the ladies who gave of their time and talents, and of their hearts to bless all of us!
